About one mile from the Absecoti Station, this county, says tlie Atlantic City times, are carp ponds, already re¬ markable for the fish they contain. The first are those of Mr. Banner T io u*s, of Philadelphia, Whose farm is on tlie L»e Is’ Point road. Three years ago, ran. 1. HU. ho re¬ ceived from tlie government twenty seven young Leather carp. They were placed in an artificial pond, limit in tlie litld near Ins house, where plenty of spring water boils up out of the earth. On January last twenty-six of these lisli were taken out and put in a new pond, next adjoining. They weighed on an average thirty pounds They are twenty-eight incites long, one foot deep, six inches through sideways, and are monstrous fish. The writer visited the pond on Fri¬ day, and learned from Mr. George Thomas, a son, interesting facts con¬ cerning them. Tlie fish are never fed except in summer for the purpose of attracting U<-tn to the surface where they can be seen. Last year and two years ago these fish spawned, stocking two ponds of two acres each with thousands cf young, the older of which now weigh a pound Jon an average. The second crop, about seven mouths old, are from eight to ten inches long. Jan. 1, 1S8.‘{, Mr. Thomas received from tee government 2)0 more fluger These, now over two years old. weigh fifteen pounds each. They have spawned once and have densely popula¬ ted pond No. 3. So successful has the experiment of carp (culture been that workmen » r « uow busy making other ponds for the rapidly increasing flock of fish, llie ponds are built on tlie borders <>f tlie salt meadow, and are fed entirely from the springs which boil from the ground. They are made by piling up tlie turf, sand and mud from the bottom of tiie ponds into banks large and strong enough for a wagon road on top. Tlie water varies in depth from one to five In winter the carp burrow in the mud, being seen only on warm days, wlimi wl,en t,iey thev cuns crun- near near the i surface Being a scarce article in the mirket, carp 1 now command fancy prices-as high forty , cents . pound. , Mr. .. as a Thomas will sell hi* oldest carp in spring. The Printer Boy. About the year 172*), an American boy some nineteen years old, found himself in London, whete lie was un der the necessity of earning his own bread. lie was not like many young men in these days, who wander aronml seeking work, and who are “willing to do anything” because they know how to do nothing ; but iie bad learned how to do something and knew just where to go to find something to do ; so he went s raight to a orintiug otlic •, and inquired if lie could get employ¬ ment. “Where are you from V” inquired the foreman. “America,” was the answer. “Ah,” said the foreman, “from America! a lad from America seeking employment as a printer! Well, do you really understand the art of print¬ ing ? Can you set .type V” The young man stepped to one of the cases, and in a brief space set up the following passage from the first chapter of John : "Nathaniel said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth V Philip said unto him, Come and see.” It was done so quickly, so accurately, and administered a delicate reproof so appropriate and powerful, that at once gave him influence and standing witli all in the oJP.ce. lie worked diligently at his trade, refused to drink beer and strong drink, saved his money, return¬ ed to America, became a printer, pub¬ lisher, author. Postinaster-General, member of Congress, signer of the Dec¬ laration of Independence, ambassador to .royal courts, and finally died in Philadelphia, April 17th, 171)0, at the age of eighty-four, full of years and honors ; and there are now more than a hundred and fifty counties, towns and villages in America named after that same printer boy, Benjamin Franklin the author of “Poor Richard’s Alma llttC.” l-.nay to s»ee Through. liow can a watch—no matter how cost ly—he expected to go when the mainspring won’t opi rale ? llow can anyone be well when his stomach, liver or kidney s are out ot order ?

IIuii. S. \V. Brown, a pr nniuent law¬ yer of Warren (Jo., O lio, in a> address to f.irmrrs recently, gave the following advice on litigation. It will suit our Grange readers exaedy. He said : If a wasting contest in court between two busibess men, two traders or two spec¬ ulators is to tie deplored, how much more to he prevented, if it bn within tlie range of efl »rt to do so, is a lawsui t between two farmers—two fa I tilers who array their neighborhood into hostile factions, who turn their golden sheen of peaceful sunlight into angry light¬ ning o"er a dispute whether a line fence should stand five feet this way or (ive that, who go down to tlie County Corn t in battle array over the course of a lit¬ tle creek, which is dry one third of the year, frozen up another third, and winch lias hardly enough water in it tlie remaining third to turn a boy’s toy wheel ; wtio come to the county temple of justice witli their respective cohorts of witness and spend whole days, under the the generalship of costly lawyers, to get a decision,about as apt to be wrong as right, whether a cow committed a tresspass, wtien all she destroyed is not equal to the fee of the lawyer on one side, and she is herself perhaps not worth half tlie fee that will lie paid Hi the lawyer on the other side. How much better than this it would be,sitn* ply in the consideration of dollars amt cents—whether you spell this last word c e n t s or sens e—if one of those farmers would cut up an acre of corn in addition to the one destroyed, arid it ov#r and preeent it as a gift to his f avor i t e lawyer, ami if the other f Htten tlie cow, and skin her, and dress ^ nice an(i c i, ;a ,, ( all q dump her dowu as a free offering in the kitchen of favorite lawyer—and have no lawsuit I One Route Instead ot a Ooxeii. “And it took only one bottle to do it,” Ha,V \m sane "‘I had'a run of “LJu’j when I got well of that my hair began to ^i’.^Vm.w wlmtto "untiT 1 d"y“a do one said, ‘Try Parker’s Hair Balsam.’ That wa* some months ago.

(•corgia’H Only Colored Pensioner* There is said to be a negro woman living near liuckersville,in Elbert coun¬ ty, who is drawing a pension from the Government of #S a month, ller bus* baud belonged to the Federal army dur* lug the late war and came up missing in some way. She made her tifst draw some years ago,and received about 81,* QUO, being entitled to back pay. She enjoys the deatinetion of being the only colored pensioner in Georgia. The executors wound up the estate' of Col. L. M. Hill, of Wilkes countv,, last week. It amounted to over half a million of dollars, and not, a dollar of it was lost by a bad debt. Emory Speer's salary as United States Judge will be thirty-five hun¬ dred dollars a year until lie is seventy years of age, and after that lie will he placed on the retired list at a salary of twenty-live hundred dollars for the bal¬ ance of his life.

Tlie Christian Index, the leading or¬ gan of the Baptist church in the South,, published in Atlanta, Ga., in itH issue of Dec. 4, 1884, lias the following edi¬ torial : Too many people s ;etm to think that, a religious newspaper should be confin¬ ed to the discussion of moral and reli¬ gious subjects only,forgetting that relU gioti lias to do both with tlie bodies and souls of men. “Prove all tilings, hold, fust that which is good,” ba» as much, to do witli tlie practical side of life kb. it lias with the moral side. Our read¬ ers will bear testimony that in all ques¬ tions discussed in tlie Index, tlie prac¬ tical lias been duly set forth. In this, pa rag aph, therefore, we only seek to present an article worthy of commen • datum. After subjecting it to tlie. above test we have tried Swift’s S|ie cilic and found it good—good as a blood purifier, good as a health tonic. Hi this opinion we are sustained by some of the best men in tue ch»rch. Itev. Jesse II. Campliell, tlie Nestor of the liapt’sl denomination in Georgia, says', “It is my deliberate judgement thst, Swift’s Specific is tiie grandest blood purifier ever dissevered. Its effects are wonderful, and 1 consider them almost miraculous. There is no medicine coin* paraole to it.” Dr. II.C. lIoruady,ou» of tlie liest known ministers in our church, says : Swift’s Specific is one of the best blood purifiers in existence.” These brethren speak advisedly. But few preparations can bring forward such endorsements. The Index desires only to endorse these statements. We have witnessed tlie beneficial effects of t his medicine, not only in our nvti household, but in several other cases where seemingly ail other remedies bad failed. It is purely a vegetable com¬ pound, scientifically prepared, and pet* fectly harmless in Its composition. It renews tlie blood and builds un broken down systems—gives tone and vigor to the constitution, as well as restores the bloom of health to the suffering. Tliert* for*, we do not deem it inconsistent WiUl tl *' i d « lies of a rel, « iou8 i uurtlil1 tu say this much in its behalf. Tre.-tise on Blood and -Skiu Diseases mailed free.
